Finding myself intriqued with the recently new bulky yarns such as Opus, I found myself wondering what can one make with 42 yds of yarn...

Using a Q hook, I started crocheting and made this ....

and while I was making it, there was this knot....

a knot join and that is no fun, so I recommend winding skeins like this in balls so you can plan around these kind of joins. That is just what I did, wound it into a ball and tried is again and in the process creating a tutorial for you....
